Mrs. Hopkins is noted for her charity.
There is a church at Great harrington,
which cost her, all told, about $3.50, 900,

Mrs. N X. Fairbanks, one Of the rich

THE CABMAN IN HIS CUPS.


All this goes to show that majority of
cabmen are honest, and it is equally safe
to say that a majority are civil. On the
other hand, men in this occupation take a
prominently high rank in the gloomy sta
! tisics of drunkenness. OF the Il, $50
| licensed drivers, not less than ,65l, or
nearly one eleventh of the entire number
were last year convicted of drunkenness or
wantOn driving. A drunken Cahman is
about as bad as tiger at large. Lie and
! limb are endangered. II is gratifying Ia
note an improvement in this regard, though
one in eleven is large percentage. Thanks
| to the Cab-driyers' Benevolent Association,
pstronized by the Prince of Wales and
and many of the first gentlemen of Eng
! land. the morals of the drivers are i'm
proving, the relative proportion of arrests
being one in ten in 1886. Women
and Cabmen are naturally antagon-
istic, and yet, statisticaliy speaking, they
have not 30 much 10 fear as men. 0fLsIl
the males who die in England. one in 260
is killed by a cab or other vehicle, and OF
females, only one in ,, $50. Women, how
ever, fear Cabmen for other causes. Unac-
quainted as a rule with distances, they
fear imposition, and if no friendly Bobby
is near, abuse and perhaps vile language, if
the extOrtOnate demands are refused. If
the cabman would only try to make him
self as popular with the fair sex as some of
the omnibus drivers do, they would pick

Wheat Clique.
san FEANrIsCu, August THE defeat
of the bulls IN the wheat corner has been
long fnrrSrru hv those who have va tched
the crop prospects closely.
The mluipulatOrs made two bad errors.
Their calculation of the oyrrstock Of the old
crop WAS too low, and their estimate OF the
new crop much lower than it will turn out
To he. They thought they had cOrnered
all the wheat, but the bears were very care
ful to see that the returns made were such
~ would deceive the bulls as to the actual
quantity.
The Immediate cause OF the collapse was
Ilrgr tenders of wheat made by the bears
and inability Of the bulls tn raise addl-
tinual funds The banks had all refused
to loan any more money on wheat rs col
lateral. and the margins obtained from
shorts were insufficient to tide the bulls
over the trouble The quantity Of wheat
the bulls are carrying il, according to eStI-
mates furnished, 56O, ,OOO tons, which has
cost them all the way from Sl.6O to =. ID
per GENITAL. The actual value of wheat to
,llv i'm the State * not much more than
q. 30 Should the bears profit by their
present position aud push prices to their
lowest value the bulls stand to lo'e over
81, 600 OOO. Many shrewd speculators are
OF the opinion that their losses will exceed
this.
VIM. Dresbach, President OF the Pro-
duce Exchange, and John Hoseutcld, a
well known shipper. are believed to he
nruong the heaviest losers. No failures
have resulted except those OF some small
sperulators, which will have no effect on
the market, and no serious embarrassments
are expected \ great many wild and
reckless rumors were flying about regard
ing the Nevada banks condition, hut they
are absolutely baSrIrSs.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 4.--There
we'r Il" returns in mp to noon in addition
to those IA the morning papers A lair
idea "l the situation is contained in the
estimate of the Coarir-.Iouuu1, which
says.
The additional returns this morning do
not gye any indication Of ground-swell
As iar - We can Judge the Democratic
losses are due ia confidence and inditlcr-
rlcmr" m our party aud unusually good or
gnIZui"n "r the part of the Republicans
The Republicans voted and the Democrats
stayed at bone Oar returns are from
'iity-S.N counties, which cast 10 per cent.
"l the whole vote OF the State The Re
nuh!an vot' in counties reporting is =
little OVER CO per cent. oi the total, and
me Democratic vote Is little over u.
These tiity-siX counties show loss from
the Cleveland majority ga, $50 of 7,7lO.
II the ratio Of gains and losses continues the
same for the rrmainng AOper cent, the net
Democratic rss will he l2.S5O, leaving
Buckner majority over Bradley of u 500.
The Republicans are claiming better things
than this from the mountain counties, but
some OF their hest counties have reported,
while the counties in the western portion of
the State hav' been very slow with their re
turns. Their - nothing whatever in the
situation which indicates greater proper
tlOnItc loss in the remaining counties, and
with the information obtaluable this morn
ing We do not doubt Burkncr will have
- 900 more votes than Bradley. II the
majority Is not as our pride demands, the
Democrats have only themselves to blame.
The tUHiU,,sriW'> summary l. aS follows.
'Sryenty-ci counties have reported SO
lar, leaving lOrty-Unr To report. These
figures are from the most reliable dis
patches, agreeing with the returns received
at both the Republican aud Democratic
headquarters. The average gain per coun-
ty from reports 50 far received is $50. On
the same ratio the net Republican gain Of
the whole State will he b Gi5. This will
leave a majority ior Buckner, counting the
vote for Knott at llOOO, OF ,, rs. The

entered.
The Pittsburg TonLmaw Of the current
week speaks in cNtcnsO of the fair, and in
the most ilattering terms. The editor says:
1--WE wish to call the attention of breed
erS and GmCicrs of live stock and manu-
iacturcrs oi all kinds al machinery To the
excellence Of this far. For years this cN-
position has been managed on u business
basis. While the citizens of Wheeling
and OF the rich agricultural sections OF
West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio
that surround il have taken great pride IN
making this enterprise 4 success, yet To the
credit of all concerned II should be said II
has richly paid them To do 50. No one Is
expected 10 work tor nothing No one is
expected to exhibit for glory alone The
liberal premiums thai are always paid
promptly and IN cash, and the liberal pat
rouagr that results from exhibiting good
stock and gOnd manufactures before the
many thousands OF cuterprising people
who attend have had the effect Of bring
iug exhibitors there year after year. They
feel that they cannot afford to he absent
from a fair where they are treated 80 well
aud repaid SO promptly and handsomely.
So we feel dispoSrd to urge upon exhibitors
at the Ohio State Fair the week prcyl"us to
make their arrangements to attend the
